EDITORS COMMENTS
A picturesque view of the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore, Italy, captured in this vintage photograph from the 1910s. The two main islands depicted in the image are Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori, named for Isabella Borromeo and the fishermen who inhabited the island respectively. Isola Bella, with its grand palace and terraced gardens, is the larger and more famous of the two, while Isola dei Pescatori, also known as Isola Superiore, is the smaller and more rustic island. The Alpine foothills can be seen in the background, adding to the breathtaking beauty of the scene. In the foreground, a rowboat glides across the tranquil waters, adding a sense of serenity to the image. The fishermen on Isola dei Pescatori can be seen in their boats, casting their nets and going about their daily tasks. The Borromean Islands have been a popular tourist destination for over 400 years, and this photograph captures their timeless charm and allure.
